this life isn’t always easy
in fact it is rather hard
but there is a reason He is polishing us still
someday we'll shine as the stars
He lets us go through troubles
He lets us go through pain
He lets us go through trials
and stand out in the rain

because it makes us stronger
because it makes us shine
see, diamonds don't get brighter until the stones begin to grind.

you break my heart and you break my will and you do it over and over
you bend me back and you hold me still and you love me the same
surgery hurts but the sickness is worse;
if you don't then the cancer takes over
the one in the gloves, he is gentle with love.
and he knows our names.

and i can't help but grimace.
i thought i was on your team.
but i know as i walk this dark and lonely road
you have something good for me.

you let me go through troubles
you let me go through pain
you let me go through trials
and stand out in the rain.

because it makes me stronger
though at the time it seems to hurt
see, flowers come in springtime only if the soil has been worked.

you break my heart and you break my will and you do it over and over
you bend me back and you hold me still and you love me the same

surgery hurts but the sickness is worse;
if you don't then the cancer takes over
the one in the gloves, He is gentle with love.
and He knows our names.
